YourVoice.Now Summary
Backs a yearly Black HIV/AIDS awareness day and urges more HIV testing — a statement only, no law changes.
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. This resolution is a statement by the House, not a law. It would back the goals of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, held each year on February 7. It spends no money and changes no rules. The text says Black Americans are about 12 percent of people in the United States. It says they make up 39 percent of new HIV cases and 43 percent of HIV deaths. The resolution urges state and local governments to push people to get tested for HIV. It asks the head of the Department of Health and Human Services to favor minority-led groups for certain HIV grants. It backs funding for HIV prevention, care, research, and housing. It urges health agencies to share that people on HIV treatment with no detectable virus cannot pass HIV to sex partners. These are requests and stated views only; the resolution itself would not change any law.
